Summer Dreaming The Paper Players Challenge PP682

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players.

The lovely Leanne is our hostess this week and she has an amazing sketch challenge for all of us. This can be used for any type of card, so get creative and have fun!

My card is created on a white card base. I added a piece of Fresh Freesia card stock to the background and then used the Flight and Airy paper from Stampin Up to complete my card. I love this DSP and had so much fun cutting the squares to complete the fun card.

Good Luck The Paper Players Challenge PP681

March 17, 2024

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players.

The amazing Joanne is our hostess this week! She has a fun Clean and Simple Challenge for all of you! The theme is Good Luck! Get creative and show us your ideas.

Remember, this is a CLEAN and SIMPLE challenge. When The Paper Players use the term “clean and simple”, we mean cards that:

Have minimal layers and embellishments
Have plenty of open space
Are simple and uncluttered

My card is created on a white card base. I added a green and white background and then I added a white panel embossed with a fun embossing folder from my stash. The flowers, envelope and bow are all from Pink Fresh Studio. The stamp set is called Floral Envelope Stamp. I sponged the envelope with distress ink and colored the flowers with Copic Markers. I cut the bow out of green and white polka dots. I used the matching dies to cut out all three items. I had to search all of my stamp sets to find the words Good Luck. I can't believe I only had one and I know I own hundreds of sets. I did not add any embellishments since it is CAS week. That is always difficult for me.

You Make Me Smile From Ear to Ear Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC331

March 17, 2024

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We are all a little bit Irish today!

It's time for a new challenge at Sunday Stamps.

We have a beautiful color challenge for all of you! Have fun and get creative. This is a gorgeous combo for Spring.

I used a sun ray cover die to create my background, I cut it once with Crisp Khaki and once with yellow card stock. I pieced the yellow pieces in the frame. The little bunny, eggs and egg tree were created using the My Favorite Things Easter Bunny stamp and die set. This set is retired now, but I love it so, I will keep it in my stash. I colored the items with Copic Markers. The sentiment is from the same stamp set. I added two enamel dots to complete my card.
